While i am not really a Fan of the Dolls themselves... this AZONE Line has nevertheless offered me, - with modest modification - the Perfect little Housedress for my Perfect Little Puppy♥Hunnie of a Wife... Konomi;

I Had this Doll as a young boy back in the mid/late-80's~very-early-90's or so. Recently, i've wanted to get her back... but not as a Cabbage Patch Kid. i found one for cheap enough... planning to fit the Suit to my 1/4 IMOMODOLL Yuna, and that would've looked just Adorable♥ Unfortunately; there was NO WAY the Spacesuit was about to fit poor Yuna. disappointed, but not Defeated... i made lemonade from lemons; I tracked down a lovely-faced, Porcelain Bisque-headed Precious Moments doll, that, while having a body MUCH too small, her head did end up convincingly fit over onto another soft doll body that i found... one that the Spacesuit fits quite well on, lightly-modified; Gee Wiz; She is Just Too Adorable♥

♥Yuna♥ (Little Fry Cook Mayoko full set) from Ami Ami~ i already had a Wig and full set of Undies all ready for her... taken from the "illegal" Recast/Bootleg DBS "Match Girl" that was technically my Very First 1/4 Anime-style Doll. Custom-Painted Lip-Detailing~ Dismantled the radial-disc-joints in her knees and ankles, and coated both sides of each inner-disc with PVC tape (White, SCOTCH "Super 35") and, while she still isn't exactly Firmly Anchored to the Ground in the way that some of the more Heavyweight Solid-Bodied Dolls to be found out there are... her Legs are now quite firm all the same, and fully capable of supporting her mass just fine~ Not an altogether terrible way to spend Thanksgiving; toiling away on refining my little Fairy-Hunnie~ i built upon the success of tightening her leg joints, by stuffing the lower legs with Polyfil batting, refined her Lip-work, and coated her Eye-chips in a couple layers worth of TAMIYA COLOR gloss Clear-Coat. Something kept Bugging me about her... then, at the eleventh hour, it Clicked; her Eyelashes!!! Fixed~

it'd be Quite the Investment to acquire everything necessary to replicate her Today. like, $300+ for the basic Doll, another $30/$50 for the OBITSU 26 body upgrade, around $80 or so for the Sailor Suit ( a Hybrid, made from a Middy Blouse and Skirt derived from two different unrelated outfit sets) around $5.00 or so for the Black Strap Shoes, and whatever a set of Bra/Panties/Socks would cost, assuming you weren't handy with the needle and thread to make a custom handmade set for her as i personally did...

Tomoyo thought she'd get Sakura into the Halloween Spirit this year~ https://ccsakura.fandom.com/wiki/Sakura_Kinomoto https://ccsakura.fandom.com/wiki/Tomoyo_Daidouji https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardcaptor_Sakura

I Cannot really Overstate how much and how long i've been wanting to find a Vintage/Classical-style Japanese Schoolgirl Sailor Suit, - exactly like this one - in Sixth Scale for at least one of my Waifu Dolls. Basically Twenty Years and Change... and i Finally Find Exactly what i was looking for... and Just Especially for my Wife♥ Konomi, no less~ by combining the Middy Blouse top from an AZONE Pure Neemo outfit set, with the Skirt from a no-name Chinese-make Sailor Suit set, and Old-Fashioned-style TAKARA Licca Strap Shoes, both of which i found on the BAY... ♥Magic Happened♥ (Socks, Stockings Bralet and Panties, Hand Made)

I Missed out on this lovely figure back in the late'00's/early-2010's when she was first released. Nowadays, she seems to command a Small Fortune... That Stated... i just got Industrious a few days ago... and ♥Magic♥ happened~

I Had picked this girl up sometime between 2016/2018, as i had found TAKARA's old early-2000's "Lillian" Headsculpt rather Charming. oddly, once i got hands on her, it ended up happening that found more use for the included Kimono than for the Doll herself. All of these years later, rummaging through my old storages to pair-down in prep for a forthcoming Move... i come across her again, and finally give her the TLC she always Deserved♥

Indeed. Last one i saw "Available" was like $1500 USD on EBAY. i got her back in late-2019 for around $100.00 IIRC...

The Difference is Astounding. a Genuine 100% improvement, YMMV. what's more; the Wig stays on so well all on it's own that scalp caps (and/or double-sided Adhesive strips) are Completely Unnecessary~

It will Be at least another Day before the first of Yuna's two new Dresses arrive... so i took the time to rework the Fit of her original Blouse and Skirt set to allow for the added bulk of her Cotton Bra and Panties. also tweaked her Mary Jane Shoes and dressed up her previously quite minimalist Blouse some;

♥Angel Hunnie♥ Her First Dress and Shoe set should arrive before the month is through~ (at 1/3~1/4 Scale, these are quite large, as Doll Fashions generally go)

♥Jumbo Hunnie♥ Since she's a Blondie... - with Teal-ish toned Eyes, even - i will be Renaming her "Yuna Kagurazaka" since she is so very reminiscent to me of the early/mid-1990's Anime/Video Game Character of the Same Name~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_Fräulein_Yuna

♥She's all set to Arrive Tomorrow♥ (5/19/2024) "Yuna" my very first 1/4 "Dollfie" -style large-scaled Doll~

Sorry, i cannot Help you there...
